Do I have the right amount of trim going here?
 
I'm trying to get used to the new boat. From the pic here running about 50 or so, do I look like I have the right amount of hull in the water? It looks to me like I may have a bit too much stern in .... Comments?

Looks about right to me for cruise speeds. Also looks like you are turning slightly to port or leaning to the port side.

Every boat is different, but in water like that your tabs should be all the way up, and drives should be at 2-3, and maybe 4-5 as you pick up speed over 50 MPH.

Tanner is right. BTW I love the 33 Scarabs :cool:

Loooks good to me bro!!

I have only used the tabs a time or two in the shallow bay getting on plane. I have had the drives from 2 - 4 "listening" as I call it for when they seem to kick in.

The boat has been performing great.... SOMEONE just needs to learn how to drive a 45' trailer around a corner w/o bending an axle.....

At cruise speed the hull should be in the water just below your feet.

Boat looks great man, we need to meet up in the bay sometime this summer. On a calm day:D

Hmmm, from the looks of it, you don't have nearly enough trim.

Talk to Clay. He'll point you in the right direction for boat trim.
